Lode Runner

This landmark action-puzzle game has been a worldwide fixture in video
games from the moment of its inception until today, producing many
sequels and related products along the way. The player controls the
hero, or "Runner," who collects gold nuggets located around every stage,
all the while avoiding capture by enemy robots. The action itself is
simple, but the stages are designed as increasingly challenging puzzles,
and none of the 50 stages is as easy as it seems. The Runner avoids
enemies by digging holes in the floor to the right and left of his
position-by doing this, he can clear a path to places that, at first
glance, seem unreachable. Players must use their brains to collect all
the gold nuggets in every puzzling stage if they want to escape to the
next. In addition to normal play, this version of the game features an
Edit Mode that allows players to design their own stages, adding a new
level of enjoyment to the game.

This classic game is part of the Virtual Console service, which brings you great games created for consoles such as NES™, Super NES™ and Game Boy™ Advance. See more Virtual Console games for Wii.
